Hocott’s photos of the Michigan Zombies prove thatfour of the former Excels took part in the fake Zombies, buthe claims he does not recall any of their names. Multiple phone calls and messages to the surviving members of the Excels were not returned until March 2017, almost nine months after Daniel Ralston's original story was published in BuzzFeed. In looking to the future, the 72-year-old Gibbons cites the words of blues legend the late Muddy Waters: “‘As long as I’m able to get up and have a good time, we’ll keep it going.’ Those are the words that resonated with Keith Richards, and we can buy into that as well.”

After setting up a small tour for the fake Archies in New England, Kehoe bought an old Greyhound bus for Jamrog and the band to use on the road. When the engine blew up in Cleveland while Jamrog was driving to meet and travel with the band in Vermont, Kehoe booked a flight for him. It was the first time Jamrog had ever been on a plane. Don Kirshner The director said ‘Give us a few minutes, we’re still getting our end of things sorted out.’ So we just began playing,” Gibbons recalls. “Little did we know that the technicians had set up the recording gear and were actually capturing all this.” Sanders said that shortly before any of theimposter bands went on the road, Kehoe asked him if he was interested in joining the version of the Animalsthat Deltawas putting together. Sanders, who had seen Eric Burdon and the original Animals perform at the Blue Light in 1966,felt that the offer was unethical and turned it down. Sanders left Delta Promotions shortly thereafter. I t wasn’t long after that that Ramsey got the call to join the fake Zombies, which at the time featured Beard, Hill, and Meador. He isn’t exactly sure how the offer came about, and is unsurprisingly fuzzy about some of the details of the era. “The ‘60s were consumed with the fascination of experimentation,” he says now, wryly. “Frank was the one who approached me.”

What did Gibbons feel when he got the news of Dusty’s passing? “It took a moment for the reality to sink in. But, you know, he’s no different from the rest of us; unfortunately we’re all going to go some time. We prefer to put it off, if you know what I mean.

The reality: Silibil and Brains weren't American - they were two lads from Dundee, Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd, masquerading as genuine Californian rappers. Initially, as the above clip from the excellent Jeanie Finlay-directed Storyville film The Great Hip Hop Hoax reveals, they were a trio known as B Production and written off as "the rapping Proclaimers" at an audition in London. Devastated, they reinvented themselves as Silibil N' Brains, returned to London and spent three years in character, fooling Shalit and Sony. Boyd tired of the hoax and returned to Scotland. In 2013, the success of The Great Hip Hop Hoax led to the group reforming and releasing an EP.I believe it’s an issue of playing catch-up,” he says. “The promoters are having to deal with having had so many postponed shows over the last couple of years. As soon as we get the green light, we’d love to come and see you, brother.” Dusty Hill refutes this accusation: “We were just making whatever we were making and happy to get some money to get another band together, but we didn’t do that.” They were so damn good," Hocott says. "They were the perfect Zombies. If you heard them play ‘Time of the Season’ you couldn’t tell the difference.” They were so good that Delta Promotions felt comfortable increasing the size and scale of the tours. “They had a tour bus,” Hocott says. “We sent a road manager out with them.” Nearly 50 years later, what happened with the Zombies is now more myth than scandal, hazy details further lost to history, with many of its principal players gone or forgotten. But, in terms of sheer audacity and brazenness, it’s a story that’s still hard to top. Much like cacti, they need less rather than more water. Water the plant only when the soil has dried out. The rare way you can kill this plant is to over water it. A ZZ plant turning yellow means that it is getting too much water and its underground rhizomes may be rotting. So if you remember nothing else about caring for a ZZ plant, just remember to forget to water it. It can survive months without water, but will grow faster if watered somewhat regularly.
